In reflexive (self‐reflective) writing, you couple personal experience with careful observation and/or critical thinking about an aspect of your experience. For example, you might write about how you developed as a thinker, writer, or researcher; or how a particular process or event unfolded for you. The key is that this writing engages you. As well as sharing insights with readers, reflexive writing is increasingly becoming “an important component of intellectual work”. In many cases, self‐reflection is a means of argumentation in which you use your experience to make a point about the importance of a particular event, process, or form of knowledge.
